Everyone seems to agree we need to spend extra money to promote the Jersey Shore this spring and summer because a lot of people in other states may be under the impression that Superstorm Sandy destroyed the entire Jersey coastline. But, so far, no additional funds have been allocated or spent to accomplish that objective.
The winds, rains, and flood water have come and gone, but many towns along the Jersey Shore are finding that public perception is doing the most damage post-Sandy.
Before this past weekend, it had been more than a year since New Jersey saw any significant snow which was tough on many of the ski resorts across the state. But, the recent storm dumped more than a foot of the white stuff in spots which made for a busy weekend on the slopes.
Summer might be the prime season for visiting the Jersey Shore, but a new initiative being kicked off by Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno focuses on all the shore has to offer right now.
New Jersey's waterways were trashed by Sandy. Winds and storm surges laced popular boating channels with boats, cars, backyard sheds and furniture belonging to local residents.
